Because of the potential consequences, we should be careful about accepting unproven accusations. The principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' should be applied here. That does not mean that there has been a conclusion about this case, however, which is why this thread remains tentatively open. Please discuss with caution and use evidence to back up your claims.

Got to love the confirmation bias going on ITT.
In the end I doubt we will even know for sure but I still think this kind of accusations don´t have to be taken lightly either way. Suspicious behavior is not enoguh to confirm anything

even in high level players there is doubt and inconclusive opinions so why are you all saying HE WAS HACKING like it was a fact? it's not, he's innocent until proven guilty Yes. Innocent until proven guilty. Not a hard concept. I'd prefer this to be the last response to someone with a low post count/recent join date. Again, your standards for evidence is alarmingly high. In the real world there will most likely never be 100% proof unless the suspect openly admits he did what he was accused of. It is indeed true we cannot say for 100% that he maphacked but the OVERWHELMING amount of evidence tips n the favor of him doing it. His "playing the victim" responses instead of going "hey look I didn't hack and here is why" really doesn't help his case. We will never hit 100% proof but we can get close to unreasonable doubt that he did which is what many believe is where the evidence is at and thus we believe Spades does hack. Your continued posting and low understanding of mechanics as well as incredibly ridiculous standards for evidence needs to end. Hiding behind the wall of 100% proof isn't good enough anymore. And I don't really care what you prefer. Go rally your mod friends and get me banned if you want me to go away. Else I'm staying put.
Your posts are turning to shit now.

He never looks into the fog. He unseiges and relocates his army (sometimes) while looking at random production facilities. He rarely scans in a TvT series (LOL - and when he does he perfectly spots LucifroN's movement). He never gets caught out of position. He is never caught off-guard in the early game. He spots and places drops perfectly. He predicts siege placement (without vision) perfectly. The way he played the series was FAR DIFFERENT mechanically than when he plays ladder.
THERE IS NO SOLID, CONCRETE EVIDENCE. Most of the time there never is. Stop arguing whether or not he performed some decisive action that confirms he's a hacker. It's the above circumstantial evidence, and loads of it, which proves to the majority of the community that he's a hacker.
|
After seeing many of the replays, I too believe that he was hacking. But also after seeing how people have reacted, I don't believe he would attempt to do it again. (Or at least a logical person wouldn't.)
I believe the problem has solved itself for the moment, and nothing can be done until people a little higher up investigate it themselves.

I don't think making himself the victim is the best way to go about this. Whether he cheated or not, victimising yourself is just.... bad......

No Attero is one of those who used most time on replays I think: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=342638¤tpage=23#444

He was caught in Broodwar and attempted it again now.

So I suppose your logic also extends to Illusion, Painuser, Idra, Drewbie, TT1, and others who have said his behavior is extremely suspicious, if not downright conclusive of maphacking. If they say they conclusively know, then yes. They act like they know more than they actually do.
If they say it's suspicious, then I might agree with them.
But I think that suspicious behavior can be found in replays if you look for it. Especially if the player has a tendency to second guess things / make good assumptions / take risks.
And suspicion is not enough for me to base a conclusion on. That's because I am responsible with my how I influence others.

Sure, 1:16:40 where he puts his CC at third

I hope that, though Spades left WW, that WW is still investigating the situation and getting opinions from other, unbiased pros. It would set a bad precedent to leave this unresolved just because Spades left the team.

One person comes out and suggests a variety of circumstantial evidence at best and the next thing you know some guy, guilty or not, has to give up something he loves doing. The absolute worst part is that it doesn't even matter if he was innocent or if he could prove that he wasn't hacking because people just jumped on some bandwagon and crucified him. Even if he was somehow able to prove that he's never hacked this whole thing would have followed him for the rest of his career. Great job.
I completely disagree with your last statement. If he was somehow able to prove he's never hacked, the whole thing would die instantly because he has proved that he's never hacked. This is pretty simple. BUT he has hacked in the past, and that has been proven. So barring your impossible scenario of him being able to prove that he didn't hack this time, I don't blame anyone at all for jumping to conclusions about him this time based on the fact that he hacked in past, and has responded with the same victim mentality this time that he did last time, instead of proactively trying to clear his name. All that, and there is a huge amount of evidence in multiple replays that makes the objective investigator lean toward saying he is cheating in some form. How do you suppose he'd do that without being his opinion against yours? There is no reliable way to prove/disprove hacking so your post is rubbish. Yes, that idea IS rubbish, but it's not my idea, its the guy I was responding to. Click the quoted material view next time idiot. He was saying if it was somehow able to be proved then his career would still be ruined. And I said if it was possible... then no, no his career would not be because he would be vindicated in innocence. User was warned for this post You insult me for my oversight and then went on and stated the same thing in the second paragraph. How do you suppose he proactively tries to clear his name without offering concrete proof he didn't maphack?, because as we've agreed he is unable to do so..
I insulted you for your oversight after you insulted me because of your oversight. I apologize. Let's move on.
He can clear his name by responding to specific points that have been asked of him to respond to. Will it definitively exhonerate him by doing this? No people will still hold opinions against him. But it would definitely be much more constructive to his case than flaming his former teammates and playing the victim, which is suspiciously the exact same way he responded last time he was accused of cheating in BW. And that was proven.

I'm upset over what bloody thirsty dick heads the CatZ committee turned out to be. They had their mind's made up before they watched the replays. They've lost all credibility to me.

All of them have said many of Spades' action were very suspicious, in addition to Avilo and Incontrol. I could go through this thread and find the posts by all of them to find the posts specifically but you could easily do that using search. The pros who have defended Spades until this point have been cArn, Attero, and Nerchio from what I remember.
I do agree with your point that suspicious behavior can be found in many replays if you look for it, but some of the actions that Spades took in his games vs Lucifron were downright EXTREMELY suspicious, the shadow boxing of armies at watch towers, etc.
